This glitch doesn't just let you collect unlimited Korok seeds, however - it can also be used to obtain multiple copies of the same item, such special DLC armour, Champion weapons, Hestu's Maracas so on.

We'd imagine this exploit will be patched by Nintendo very soon, so make the most of it while you can. Let us know if you've used this glitch to farm seeds by posting a comment below.

Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded.

Is finding koroks so difficult and boring compared to following this glitch to completion through several thousand loading screens? There are maps online and walkthroughs if you really need help. Its even fun, I swear!

I'm all for using my amiibo to gain whatever it is they are going to give me every day, that's what we all paid for and it's built into the game to work that way, but this sounds too much like a "broken" glitch even for me.

I do have a son who's beaten 3 of the 4 divine beasts so I'll let him know, he's already played the game for 50 hours so maybe he'll mess around w/ it just to see if he can get it to work.

Edit - Oh, and your "guide" to find the travel medallion is mostly useless. "far end" It's a square, there is no "end", it's 4 corners. I watched my kid run around there for about 30 minutes or so and he still couldn't find it. And that was after he had already run around the place once before for 30 minutes trying to solve it. The green line helped, I watched him cover the whole maze in green, but he never solved the shrine or found the medallion.

But i thought you couldn't do the sword trials until you had completed all Divine beasts.Ah well live and learn, not going to try this though, this is just a glitch which will be patched soon, i'm sure.

@Baker1000 Technically if you just wanted enough to get all the equipment slots it would be 450 ish times, but I agree, this would take all the fun out of finding them, and won't be available for long anyways.

@RedMageLanakyn I won't use it, but I can see why some would. I've already played through the game, and am halfway through my master mode play through. I never got all 900 koroks on either play through, but even if I only got 1-200, I can imagine I would enjoy it the second or third time around nearly as much.

EDIT: I don't know why I said I'm halfway through. I'm only about a quarter through. Just tackled my first divine beast.

Cool, but I don't think I really want to. I already thought I'd broken my first horse (Fisher Price) a few hours into Master mode, and I really don't want to glitch the game out with a dodgy exploit.

I was blazing past the clifftop camps heading to the dueling peaks tower, in a hail of arrows did a slick horseback jump into a paraglide, and my ego was then deflated as the nutter proceeded to run off the cliff Revenant style and survive to swim to the wee island below the tower. Turns out you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him swim to the mainland. Or drink. But I did, in an AVGN kinda way.

Luckily as I had registered him I was able to ask a stable to get him for me. The rescue effort would have made the news, I'm sure.

Yeah, no thanks. Maxing out my Korok Seed count would feel hollow and lame this way. Plus, there's a certain thrill that comes from hunting down the seeds the right way. The new mask makes it a bit easier without taking the fun away.

Cool glitch but I'm not going to try it. The only glitch I tried was leaving the Plateau early. It was fun using stasis and felt rewarding finally hitting the water. Searching around the death box was fun. lol

@Jimmy_G_Buckets FYI, some are apparently found by doing stupid stuff I wouldn't have thought of. I had to burn the grass beard off the head of a horse statue above a stable?!? Who even thought you could do that? So, yeah I am using a guide when I just can't find one even though my Korok mask is going crazy.

Damn, I've already beaten all Divine Beast dungeons. Otherwise I definitely would've used that glitch.I was actually disappointed when they fixed the infinite arrow glitch.Other Nintendo games (mostly Mario) had this kind of stuff as features (getting 99 lives), I wish they would keep it that way.

It may make the Korok Seeds count go higher...but does it actually count on your map %? Since you're getting the same seed over and over again, you're not getting a new mark on the map, and I'm guessing you cannot get 100% on your map unless you find the 900 TRUE ones. I may be wrong, and I cannot try this glitch anymore anyway. Someone else can surely confirm this to me.

@Nin_Myski That's because this method of getting 451 or 900 seeds is actually WORSE than running around finding them all. At least with the latter, you have some variety and world exploring to do. You can enjoy the game's sites and maybe find some missed treasure.

With the glitch though? It's the same thing 450+ times. No thanks.

I would be interested in using this glitch for multiple Hylian Shields, though. Maaaaybe Spirit Orbs, but that's not confirmed to work and I'm still holding out hope that the next DLC with allow 3 more upgrades to Stamina/Hearts.

Woohoo, now you can get your pointless prize for achieving your pointless task without incontrovertible confirmation that you're the kind of masochist that Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade would tell to tone it down just a smidgeonette.
